  • STARTER PULL CORDS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
    Publication number: 20090301424
    Abstract: An improved starter pull cord for an internal combustion engine having significantly increased stiffness, resistance to wear, and strength, the starter pull cord being comprised of rope having high modulus fibers selected from the group consisting of liquid crystal polymer (LCP), aramid, and high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE). The higher stiffness of the high modulus starter pull cords of the present invention translates to greater impetus during the act of pull starting the engine, which is apt to start more quickly than with starter pull cords of the prior art. The increased strength of the high modulus starter pull cords translates to fewer breakages over the lifetime of an engine and therefore increased reliability.

  • Patterns of conductive objects on a substrate coated with inorganic compounds and method of producing thereof
    Patent number: 7578048
    Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a pattern of conductive elements on a substrate is provided. The method includes depositing in a vacuum deposition chamber an electrically conductive material onto the substrate to form a base layer. Then, the method includes selectively applying an electric insulating agent on selective areas of the base layer. Then, areas of the base layer that are not covered with the insulating material are electroplated with a second electrically conductive layer. The electric insulating agent is then removed from the substrate and the base layer is chemically etched thus removing the base layer that was covered with the insulating material and selectively exposing the substrate to create the pattern of conductive objects on the substrate.

  • Wireless communication device and method for communicating in site selection diversity mode
    Patent number: 7515883
    Abstract: A wireless communication device receives CDMA signals and communicates with remote base stations in site selection diversity transmit (SSDT) mode. During communications with a primary base station, communication state parameters, such as signal to interference ratio (SIR) target values and carrier frequency estimates, are maintained for other base stations of an active set of base stations. The state parameters for communications with a selected base station are available for use after selection of a new base station. In one embodiment, the communication state parameters are used for the selection of a base from the active set.
